avg email scanning

My AVG free version has decided not to activate my Email scanning on boot up. After going to test centre and simply checking on settings it then tells me fully functional until next reboot. Any ideas ???

I never got mine to load ... it says for email scanner "no pluggin is active". I read somewhere that this pluggin is only available in the paid version and is relevant to outgoing emails ... and without it your are still protected (who would make an antivirus with an email plugin ... as, almost by definition an antivirus MUST protect and scan all incoming emails?)

I am right in the fact that the email scanner plugin is not essential anyway and only adds some extra email features (You only have to imagine the thought of a company bringing out an antivirus which only protects/scans incoming emails via an optional "plugin" as this would be outrageous !)
